Lester Kiewit speaks to Karen Lowe, Director of 4 Day Week South Africa, about the need to achieve a positive work-life balance. According to Forbes Advisor, Copenhagen is the city with the best work-life balance for workers. This was after they looked at a range of indices such as the World Happiness Index, sunlight hours, average working hours, minimum legal annual leave, and others. They then did a comparison of 128 major cities and compiled their list, and surprisingly Cape Town did not come up in the top 25.

Lester Kiewit spoke with Jane Ward, Deputy Director of the South African Bone Marrow Registry, about the 14th International Donor Registry Conference (IDRC) held in Cape Town. The event, hosted by SABMR, gathered over 300 global experts to address donor matching challenges, particularly among under-represented ethnic groups. A key outcome was exploring AI's potential to accelerate the matching process for over 41 million registered donors. Ward discussed how this technology could transform donor matching, though a global rollout is still on the horizon.
